rocket successfully makes its very first foreign law carry europe's new satellite navigation system on its way to rivalling america's g.p.s. . and global investors are looking forward to the euro zone bailout fund discussion will there be a foster thanks bond out doing business in twenty minutes. just after five pm in the russian capital this is r t the libyans are celebrating the end of colonel gadhafi as they turn a new page in their country's history the interim government says the colonel was taken alive in the city of sirte only to die later from wounds inflicted during his capture but some are now questioning that claim over the u.n. human rights office even calling for an investigation into gadhafi is dead artie's ivory bed has more and his report contains graphic bloody images of the colonel.
9:02 am
this frenzied mob is about as far as it gets from a trial at the hague. but the death of gadhafi is now being cheered around the world yes we came we saw our he died there. even by those who champion democratic justice. people in libya today have an even greater chance of to this news of building themselves a stroll and democratic future i'm proud of the role that britain has played in helping them to bring that about and i pay tribute to the bravery of the libyans who've helped to liberate their country we will help them we will work with them a long way from cameron's insistence that get daffy be put on trial in d.c. fighters were even dissuaded from the shoot to kill policy agreeing in august they'll take him alive i don't think you've got a particularly fair trial. in any case but i mean nevertheless the what is
9:03 am
basically i guess a kind of summary execution of what may well have been a summary execution is a kind of fairly barbaric into i believe was a very barbaric operation from the start and as a side you know this was no this was never supposed to be about regime change this night of operation but that's that's really what's been the outcome of it the backslapping has been fueled by this gruesome footage of gadaffi his body splashed across headlines he needed for the world and the people power is not going to be put back here in libya thanks to the u.s. and its nato allies this video shows gadhafi was still alive when captured but clearly that didn't last long some suggest an execution and question why this is now being applauded he was assassinated after he was caught one that this is a very handy as crime against one that man and the other public will see it as such i've talked to people who dislike. this like. he was killed they think that this
9:04 am
those you're something of the moral of the so-called revolutionaries this is news also shared by many on twitter there are several posts already concerned about the coverage questioning the need for such graphic images and why gadhafi is dead dictator or not has been reported with such jubilation the images have been labeled horrific this tweet says the b.b.c. wouldn't have used the images for anyone else another suggestion or having a competition sally bercow a prominent activist in the u.k. says she sees where the same wasn't done for bin ladin back then a bomber refused to release the images saying it could incite more violence or be used as propaganda for gadhafi the vultures are too quick bennett r.t. . well let's get us some more reaction now from professor mussina come see us from a bethlehem university mr you can hear me now the u.n.
9:05 am
wants a probe into the a circumstances of gadhafi his death now do you expect an investigation to uncover anything of no. investigation into could mean. i'm sorry but question this question if there is that investigation do you think that there is anything significant that will be uncovered. around the circumstances that you know at this point. pretty much we know the circumstances of the death of a few because the people who were involved explain it came out he was not known he was shot because they claimed there was shooting from various sides and there were some bullets were fired and he was shot with two bullets one on the side of them one. and so this is known now and i don't think that the libyan transitional council would be interested in exploring in the tale about the
9:06 am
circumstances of his death they're just happy he's dead they will not investigate. it to the u.n. and that's asking for that probe but well let's go to the allegations of this if million deaths caused by need to ask should that be investigated. yes definitely i think the u.n. and human rights organizations should all push not only for investigation of the death of gadhafi and certainly the lynching of many other libyan members of the. support. feet but also the bombings that nato inflicted in libya that destroyed so many of libya's infrastructure and also so many libyan civilians who died in the school were killed in the nato strike i think certainly investigation is warranted into that should be an independent investigation. let's talk now about the
9:07 am
intervention nato says that at the end of it suppresses its intervention maybe it's now. much closer but again deadline has been given yet but how much longer do you think we can expect the alliance to stay. well i mean especially the united states which is leading in this is clearly interested in libya long term and if they can get away with it i would say for decades they would one interfere in libya because their image control libya affect the change in libya in such a way to make it easier for reinstituting an american base in libya which are existed. in sixty nine to controlled all three in libya. privatization of libya a most this is hypocritical on the part of the u.s.
9:08 am
because they also how the lawyer for himself. and would for the past. two years ok and let's talk about initial reaction when big news started trickling out we heard a lot of sharing of course from believe people those the fighters but also the leaders are hailing the death of gadhafi out do you interpret their their positive reaction to this. well clearly i think the majority of libyans did not like him did not want him in power but they were injured three of libyans also do not like nato intervention and do not like the new leadership being imposed on them by the west this is very clear so one does not have to choose between the united states or between the old regime and the united states libya needs democracy and they need people to call it but certainly the way
9:09 am
this was done is. probably still in my opinion really horrific and certainly will not end up in democracy in libya in the direction that it is going it will. germany in libya new government that will be equally if not much more equally collaborative with the u.s. . egypt was first to mubarak or tunisia ben ali. thanks very much for your foster talking to us live from bethlehem professor thank you well despite the colonel's death nato has yet to announce the end of its seven month a long bombing campaign in libya well started off as a mission to protect civilians quickly targeted a dictator what fallen out of favor with the west or gadhafi never lived to see his trial for war crimes at the hague and his art is going to check out reports he could simply have been worth more dead than alive to the alliance. hillary clinton

on a surprise visit to tripoli days before the killing of the ousted libyan leader where she was quoted as saying the u.s. hopes to see could off the killed or captured soon the captured scenario might have put could off in the toppled egyptian leaders troops or those of iraq's saddam hussein but a trial over colonel gadhafi would have no doubt feared even more controversy that they're still that after those three countries sure did begin working on corridors for the u.s. if you went to the hague you would spill the beans about all the dirty deals there are to stuff a real politic between the west in a developing country like libya nobody wanted that levy and transitional government officials say colonel could doubt he was cornered grain underneath the road in open country site near the city of sirte please don't shoot was allegedly heard at the site many when our similarities to the capture of saddam hussein he was discovered

in a small underground pulled concealed next to farm buildings near his own hometown but unlike sadam who was captured alive by u.s. forces colonel qadhafi was reportedly shot dead by lead in transitional authorities not without the help of the u.s. and american defense official claimed a u.s. predator drone along with a french fighter jet hit could alfie's convoy thursday morning as they were trying to escape effectively handing them over to the lead in forces on the ground there are still unanswered questions about what happened to promote the how was he killed . clearly i think water. for external intervention and if you got all of nato. balls and. pump unable to achieve their objective nato's a u.n. mandate was to protect libyan civilians but it quickly became to get rid of gadhafi and prop up a government which is now in power only thanks to this. support of the allied
